Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 335 Jin Zhaodong was cremated
Jin Zhaodong's body was brought back to the yamen the next day. The body was burned so badly that no problems were found after the autopsy.

There were no traces of drugs in the body of the deceased, and it was not that he was drugged to cause a coma, but at the same time, the body did not show any signs of struggle.

The amount of black smoke inhaled from the mouth and nose was not much, and it was obvious that he was not burned alive. As for the trauma that caused the deceased to completely lose consciousness before the fire, it is unknown.

After all, the skin and flesh were all burnt, and even the original small wounds on the surface of the deceased's body could not be seen at this time.

The only thing that made progress was that the criminal officer found traces of kerosene after checking the scene again the next day, confirming that this case was not an accident but a murder.

In addition to the yamen servants in the public office, the people Liu Shouzheng sent privately also investigated the entire Lushan County to the bottom.

Finally, on the night of the third day, a young man was found on the outskirts of the city after being tied up and hanged from a tree.After checking, it was found that it was Jin Zhaodong's servant.

The key thread was once again interrupted.

As for the suspect Diao Shitian provided by Shen Yu and others, Liu Shouzheng's people searched for four or five days and still did not find any trace of this person, and the case could not progress for a while.

On the seventh day after the incident, Shen Yu brought people back from the government office to bring back Jin Zhaodong's body.

On the eighth day after the incident, Jin Zhaodong was cremated.
-
"Second brother, don't think too much."

Seeing his elder brother squatting on the stone steps with a dejected face, Shen Gao patted Shen Yu's shoulder with some embarrassment, not knowing how to be safe for a while.

Since Brother Jin's death, the group of them have been trying to find out the origin of the matter.

Especially after knowing that the official family could not count on him, the second brother seemed to be crazy, and the city was full of inquiries about Diao Shitian's whereabouts, and he didn't even drink a few sips of water for four or five days in a row.

Seeing that Shen Yu didn't speak, Shen Gao sighed.Brother Jin's body was cremated today. The second brother didn't know about it. When he and the second brother came back, Brother Jin had already been put on the pyre.

The second brother wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

The burning was proposed by Lao Ling, because Jin Zhaodong once said that if one day he left, someone would take his ashes to Penglai and scatter the ashes in the East China Sea.

At that time, Jin Zhaodong was only fourteen or fifteen years old, no one took his words seriously, but he never thought that he would actually come to this point in just seven or eight years.
-
Jin Zhaodong's death made all the pedestrians on Liuxing Street mess up, and it also made Liu Shouzheng's mood unclear these days.

But for the people of Lushan County, the burning of people in Mazi Lane is just a matter of conversation in leisure time before tea and after dinner.

Every household received grain seeds, so that the people in the entire Lushan County, whether they have land or not, are immersed in this unexpected joy, and they don't have time to think about anything else.
-
Gu Qi stayed in Lushan County for eight full days, until he watched the people of Hongwentang cremate Jin Zhaodong's body before he left the city and went straight to Zhuangzi in Luoshan Village.

"Have the fields near Zhuangzi been gathered?"

At that time, when Gu Qi bought the Zhuangzi outside Luoshan Village, he was looking at the Zhuangzi with a piece of land. During this period of time, because he was busy with the business of the commercial market in the city, the collection of the fields had been delayed.

It is the best practice of spring plowing, and I am afraid that it will not be able to catch up with it later, and it is naturally not good for Gu Qi to let these fields be vacant.

This Zhuangzi's original owner's surname was Lu, and Zhuangzi's name was simply and rudely called Lujiazhuang. Now that it was gathered in Gu Qi's hands, it was even more simply and rudely changed to Guzhuang.

Gu Zhuang and the surrounding fields have a total of [-] mu. Compared with some scattered fields gathered in other places, the connected fields are naturally the best to take care of.

"It's all gathered. With the rain in the past few days, I asked the remaining brothers in the village to plow for two hours a day. Now there are more than [-] acres that can be used."

The other brothers who entered the Yuzhou government office together went to the escort, and now Jiang Ping is not only responsible for the training of the remaining brothers, but also responsible for the management of the farm.

"The speed is slower." Gu Qi put down the tea in his hand, thought for a while and asked:

"Have the villagers in the nearby villages started farming recently?"

"Some have begun to try farming, but most of them are still idle. The main reason is that there are no grains." Jiang Ping said.

Although a few days ago, the officials in the city of Lushan County sympathized with the hardships of the people in the city and distributed grain seeds for free, which caused a lot of trouble: .

However, there are also rigid conditions for the distribution of grain seeds. The first one is that people must hold household registration in Lushan County.This excludes all the places in other towns, counties and villages under Lushan County.

The people in the county city themselves have fields outside the city, but only [-]% to [-]% of them, and most of these [-]% to [-]% have only a few acres of scattered land. Before the disaster, most of these fields were leased to farmers outside the city. Collect some tenant rent; or hire someone to help with planting to increase the income of the family.

Most of the real people in the city have other jobs in the city, and very few are willing to go out of the city to farm by themselves.As for the remaining [-] to [-] percent of the people, they don't even have land.

Why do you want to work hard and stay up all night to go to the government office to queue up to get grain seeds if you don’t have a field? It’s just because the grain seeds are so rare that you can live in them. Even if you don’t have land to grow, you can sell them to neighbors or farmers outside the city at a high price.

It's just that these grains are limited after all, and the grains that have flowed out to various villages outside the city in the past few days, after being dispersed, not many people can buy them.

Luoshan Village and Xihe Village were originally not far from the county seat. In the past few days, some villagers have bought some high-priced grain seeds that have been spread from the city.

It's just that the life of the people in the village is harder than that of the people in the city. Nowadays, there are not many families who can afford silver taels. Therefore, there are only one or two families who are willing to pay for the one and a half mu of grain seeds.

More people prefer to plant sweet potatoes first.The poorer ones are reluctant to use sweet potatoes as seed potatoes, so they can only let the fields lie idle.

"In this way, you ask a few brothers to count all the available farmers in the nearby villages.

If they have no land to grow, they will hire farmers from the farm to help them. Each person will be provided with two meals a day. "

"How many people do you want?" Jiang Ping asked.

Nowadays, food in Lushan County is more expensive than gold, and it can cover two meals a day. Even if there is no wages, there are many farmers who are willing to contribute, not to mention the distribution of food after autumn.

"Look for as many as you can. If there are enough people in Guzhuang, we will arrange to go to Xihe Village. The scattered fields near Xihe Village add up to about [-] mu."

Gu Qi thought for a while and said: "If anyone in the village wants to sell their cultivated land, they will take it, good or bad, as much as they have."

The grain seeds that Zhou Li sent along with the goods before have been stored in the Zhuangzi. The amount is not large, but it is enough to cultivate the fields collected by Gu Qiming.
